feudum.
fief;
Meaning & usage
A fief, fee.
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Old French or Old Occitan feu/fieu, which was borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”), which stems from Proto-Germanic *fehu. The -d- in feudum, feodum was inserted under influence of Latin allōdium, also of Frankish origin. Or possibly the term is borrowed from Frankish *fehu-ôd. Latin feudum is cognate to Catalan feu, which too is borrowed from Frankish *fehu. It is also a doublet of pecu, which is inherited from Proto-Indo-European *péḱu, the same root of Germanic *fehu (wherein, by action of Grimm's Law, the /p/ became /f/, and /k/ was aspirated into /h/).
